Players who already use the optional Glyph authenticator or Rift authenticator shouldn't see much change to their usual log-in process, besides the fact that the process is now spread over two separate screens. On the second screen, players can choose to whitelist their computer so that codes don't have to be entered while logging in in future.
These changes come after an incident in which ArcheAge players were hit with unauthorised transactions of $150 founder's packs on their accounts. The transactions affected players of ArcheAge as well as some of Trion's other MMOs, such as Defiance and Rift. Katie Williams is a freelance writer and games journalist.
